ABAP COMMAND REPLACE (Points will be awarded)

adnanmaqbool — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 08:30:52 GMT

Dear Guys

I have a string e.g Ad$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Now when I use REPLACE '$' WITH ' ' INTO L_NAME, replace command only replaces the first $ with ' ' from string.

While I want to replace all $ signs. Note I am using SAP 4.6C and I think the command replace all occurance not working 4.6C.

Also not no of occurances of $ is not fix in field.

Hi,

The Replace Command will replace only the first String.

You can use Translate Command for this.

For Eg.,

Data : String(20) Type C Value 'Ad$$$$$$$$$$$$$'.

TRANSLATE STRING USING '$ '.

WRITE : STRING.

Regards,

Padmam.

otherwise find the length

len = strlen ( l_name).

do len times.

REPLACE '$' WITH ' ' INTO L_NAME.

l_name = l_name.

enddo.

good

try this process

USE STRLEN to get the length of the string,

declare a in index as i,

count from index one as first character and than you use the REPLACE statement.

thanks

Hi,

alternatively you use this

[code]

sy-subrc = 0.

while sy-subrc = 0.

REPLACE '$' WITH ' ' INTO L_NAME.

endwhile.[/code]
